Reliance Jio, Airtel have this common demand from government

New Delhi: Reliance Jio Infocomm and Bharti Airtel have called on the government to cut the price of 5G spectrum in the run-up to the next auction, showing rare convergence on a vital issue at a time when the two telecom operators are locked in a bitter feud over interconnect usage charges (IUC).
Vodafone Idea chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla, who spoke at the India Mobile Congress on Monday, as did senior Jio and Bharti Airtel executives, underlined the need for an “enabling regulatory environment” to ensure phone companies have the “necessary wherewithal to make commensurate investments to stay at the cutting edge of
technology”.
